this is a weak argument, as it can be made for literally any situation. Israel massacring Palestinians? Hey man, they can do whatever they want, we don't have any right to tell them not to and it doesn't make what they're doi

This seems strikingly similar to another Indian story from a few years ago in which a man was lynched by a mob after a rumor falsely alleged that he had eaten beef. ( https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/09/indi

Although I can't confirm this myself, a few people here have mentioned that its likely that a digital TV signal's audio track would be compressed to remove inaudible ranges. This would require that any ultrasonic data be added by

Not at all. If the skill requirement is lower for women to get into the same position as men, is it not rational that, on average, those women will perform poorer than the men? Imagine they did the same thing for university entrance: men n

I find the sentiment behind this comment difficult to understand. On one hand i think you're saying you don't believe in Zoroastrianism enough to call yourself a devout, but on the other you want a big resurgence of people that do

I might be reading your comment wrong, but I can't see how you can support silencing opinions (yes, even ones that promote hateful sentiment) through fear of being fired or similar witch-huntey behavior. That doesn't shut down the

I believe the "arbitrary zodiac" claim is made toward people that attempt to extrapolate behavior out of mbti types. For example, "INFJs are strong leaders" is as arbitrary as saying "aquarius's are strong lead
